A warm and hearty Indian-inspired lentil stew. Perfect for a cold night. The flavors of curry and cumin make this a very tantalizing dish and fill the kitchen with a very aromatic fragrance. This dish is easy to prepare and very yum! I like to serve this over steamed brown rice and with naan.

This recipe cooked nicely and tasted good. For our tastes, I doubled the curry powder and added 1/4 t cayenne pepper. I only added half the cream, and it was just enough for us.
